Blank Pages

by Serina the Squid   Jul 29, 2007


Mocking me, mocking me
I yearn just to write
Past, present, future
The things in my sight

And I can't seem to get it
I can't seem to flow
My words jump inside me
With nowhere to go

It's not what I mean
The order's all wrong
Words fail to gleam
Blank pages are strong

I try just to capture
The thoughts in my head
Pen, paper, scribble
But hate what I've said

I try, pushing on
Try flimsy, gay rhyme
Of a song I am failing
And a tune I can't time

The sound is still grating
The moral still weak
The words I am hating
As blank pages stay bleak

One after another, the words pass me by
I'm trying, I'm trying! But I still cannot see
Words on blank pages; blank pages reject me

    Okay. I LOVE this.

    You did a wonderful job with this piece, and if you WERE suffering with block when you wrote this, I think you did a fantastic job anyway.

    I wanted to copy my favourite part...but that would be the whole poem.

    Perfect flow throughout and beautifully written, this is a wonderful read.

    Wow!
    this poem is excellent!
    I've been feeling just like this.
    Like everything that comes to my head doesn't fit.
    So I know what your going through
    you really captured what it's like to not be able to write but want to so badly
    5/5

    Why would people find that offensive? I'm not using the word gay in the slang meaning of it, I'm using it in its actual definition, which means happy.

    This poem is good...the flow was good and the rhyming was great....theres just one problem to me...

    "Try flimsy, gay rhyme"

    some people may find that offensive... gay rhyme? maybe you should change that word to something different..but its just a suggestion...overall great poem.

      Hahaha, oh my, thats funny. I was using "gay" like in olde english when it mean whimsical since the writing in that line and even using that word makes it whimsical, or at least I felt it did when I wrote the poem :)
